GDT: Where is Timo? Who is Timo? How is Timo? - Your New Jersey Devils (40-15-5) @ Vegas Golden Knights (36-19-6), 10 PM, MSGSN

[Sdevils42]

Sometimes you just run into a hot goalie, haven’t seen a performance like that one in a while. Devils are flying, who can’t they play with right now?

I think Yegor has to sit once Meier is ready.

 

[glenwo2]

After OT ends:

"now its a crapshoot" - Dano

With the shootout turning it into utter crap.

 

[New Jersey]

That seriously was the most impressive goaltending performance against us all year.

Vegas might have hit on this guy, who was seriously *nothing* special before he moved to the Knights.

 

[glenwo2]

But there's no OT in the playoffs.


Did you even watch the game? The McLeod line was probably the second best line last night next to Nico's.

But sure, they should come out for someone who is now on his fifth team but is Damon's fishing buddy.

 

[HoliksGhost]

I don’t really like to go into this because anyone can beat anyone in this league, but if they replicate how they played last night, they’ll win.

In fact, if they played like that every night, they’d win most of their games. It was that big of a domination.

If we keep this up, I don’t see us getting knocked out anytime soon unless we run into that type of goaltending..

 

[New Jersey]

the rangers didn’t need a flashy play making, defensively weak winger. there was no team building thought into it, purely a case of a star whining his way onto one specific team. we’ll see if it helps them

I’VE SEEN THIS MOVIE

 

[New Jersey]

What’s also intriguing me about tomorrow is how many of the “4,600” will be in attendance supporting us…

When Boston went out there, it was f***ing surreal. Like visually looked worse than the pops of Rags fans at the Rock in game 5, 2008.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Sharon definitely needs some bench time.. his gaff just prior to the LV goal that tied it at 2-2 was crucial momentum swing… and not finishing Jacks set ups have been well documented

His gaffe? Seems like there was another player along the boards who went timidly after a loose puck.

Just prior to that.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

at least you're consistent.

 

[Devs3cups]

Yeah, it was Sharangovich. He failed to get the puck in deep in the neutral zone and caused a turnover, he then lost his battle along the wall to Eichel.

I’d imagine you’re talking about Hughes, but Barbashev basically blocked his path and high sticked him in the process. That goal was 100% on Rango.

Your bias against Jack/Bratt is unfortunate given the very good seasons they’ve given us.

My buddy will be there rooting us on.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

i don’t think we’re the same as the rangers. getting meier was a perfect execution of team building. we need a big bodied scoring winger and we got the best one available.

the rangers didn’t need a flashy play making, defensively weak winger. there was no team building thought into it, purely a case of a star whining his way onto one specific team. we’ll see if it helps them

Like Marcel Dionne? Mike Rogers? Michael Grabner?

 

[MartyOwns]

just finished the game…great effort, deserving of a point. their goalie was just a beast, it happens.

mercer is ridiculous. imagine trading hall for larsson, then flipping an injured hall for a pick that turns out to be dawson mercer. unreal. our top 6 is fixin’ to be nasty.

 

[New Jersey]

Let’s put last night’s result to bed.

I can’t believe how wonderfully cohesive this unit is. This might already be better than the 2012 team, granted we still have a stretch run to the playoffs…

I’m just really, really like, ok, “is this what it was like being an adult paying attention to this team night-in-night-out in 2000-03?” (aka when I was 5-8 years old and only understood getting hands on the Cup).

Don’t forget we’re also adding… TIMO. I really think dude is gonna mesh extremely well with Hughes/Bratt. If he finishes 50% of the chances Rango gets with these 2, we’re golden.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Nothing to do with bias.

When every other forward is playing the way the Devils were last night but then one group feels it's ok to take shortcuts it becomes frustrating to watch.

If the guys on all three other lines are capable of getting on the right side of the puck before attacking why can't two of the more talented players on the team learn to do that?

Much like when Kovalchuk first got to New Jersey, it is like the other team has a power play when the puck is in the New Jersey zone. Thanks to Jacques Lemaire and then Pete Deboer he eventually learned to be more active. Hopefully that happens with Hughes as well.

 

[HoliksGhost]

Yeah, it was Sharangovich. He failed to get the puck in deep in the neutral zone and caused a turnover, he then lost his battle along the wall to Eichel.

Yep that’s the Sharon play I was referring to..

 

[New Jersey]

I’ve been making it clear to friends who don’t fully understand my level of giddy schoolgirl excitement over this team,

This is literally the first time in my LEGAL ADULT LIFE the Devils are elite again. I was still 17 when we were eliminated in 2012 (late June birthday).

Man, does this feel good. I f***ing love them so much oh my f***ing f***.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Just so you realize how hot Ingram has been recently... 1 legit bad game in 7 with that AHL D in front of him? He's very capable of pulling what we just saw.

1 - As for Sharangovich here comes an unpopular comment: Bench him but do not give up quickly. He is mental right now, it can be rectified. This is just the type of player that can take you on a deep run or bring you home a Stanley Cup with some tie up or OT goals if he catches fire. He can be a beast and his deadly wrist shot can come back if this is handled properly.

2 -Just because Timo is coming into the lineup does not mean wee win more. In fact of 35 years of watching hockey I have noticed it is more often the opposite. Hockey is all about chemistry. The NJDs might roll into a tail spin. Not saying I do not like him or he shouldn't help. Hate to be the messenger but this is a fact. Chemistry.

3-I remember going through an era where McMullen taunted us with moving the Devils to TN, and will never forget Nordique fans coming to our games trying prove a point they were better fans. I feel for the die hard Phoenix fans and hope everything works out with their new arena. It is heart breaking to see die hard sports fans lose their teams.

People have apparently memory-holed how much discussion there was about the Devils moving and how we didn’t deserve the team because we didn’t sell out with a winning team. (Which is also why it’s funny people are nostalgic for an arena in the middle of a chemical wasteland that had way more trouble drawing people.)

Again, all this shit was borderline traumatizing. I was a lot younger and was actually affected by this sort of thing. So I just find it gross to be eager to dance on another NHL fanbase’s grave.

I’m on Team Coyotes. f*** em, get Bedard, get a new arena.

Yes, the feeling is back. It’s been so long…

Don't know how you jump on Schmid for any of these goal really. 22 years old.

He gave the Devils more than a few chances to win. They just couldn't get one past Hill.

 

[Guttersniped]

Zetterlund is way more valuable because he has 4 more years of team control and Sharangovich only has 2. I'd be surprised if that really got anywhere.

Yup. Both are RFAs but Shara already makes 2m and is arbitration eligible.

I was hoping/wishful thinking it would be Shara over Z too because I don’t know if even can spare the cap space to keep Shara.

It depends on what we do on defense, goal, with Tatar, etc though so it’s hard to say what happens with our cheaper forwards.

 

[britdevil]

Fell asleep after regulation.

It do be like that sometimes.
